今日はちょっと特別な日。
勤務先から戻ってきた息子と、久しぶりにサーフィンをしました。急に休みが取れたそうで、うれしいサプライズ。朝早くに海へ向かい、冷たい水に目を覚まされながら、波と格闘。まだまだ負けてはいられないと思いつつ、息子の軽やかな動きには脱帽です。
サーフィンのあとは港近くへ。
新鮮な地魚のお寿司をぱくり。とれたてならではの弾力と甘みに、つい顔がほころびました。明太子のおにぎりと、魚のあら汁もセットにして、海の幸をこれでもかと満喫。やっぱり海辺の町はこうでなくちゃ。
夕方は、二人で晩酌タイム。
いつものおでん屋から仕入れた熱々のおでんに、昨日山で収穫したこごみのおひたし。さらに、いただきものの「糸瓜の味噌漬け」もテーブルに。ちょっと渋い組み合わせかもしれませんが、これがまた酒に合う。気取らない肴に、ついつい杯も進みました。
こうして一日を終えて思うのは、何気ない日常こそが一番贅沢だということ。
派手なことは何もないけれど、息子と笑い合いながら過ごす時間が、何よりのごちそうです。
このブログを始めたのも、こんな小さな日々をちゃんと残しておきたかったから。
歳を重ねても、ずっと続けていけたらいいなと思っています。
今日も波に巻かれて、酒に巻かれて、笑いに巻かれて、いい一日でした。わっはっは！
2025/4/27 Weekend Diary
Today is a bit of a special day.
I went surfing with my son who had just come back from work. It was a pleasant surprise that he had suddenly been able to take a day off. We headed to the beach early in the morning, and while the cold water woke us up, we fought the waves. While thinking that we still couldn’t lose, I was impressed by my son’s light movements.
After surfing, we went near the port.
I ate some fresh local fish sushi. The elasticity and sweetness that only freshly caught fish can bring a smile to my face. We also had a set of mentaiko rice balls and fish soup, and enjoyed the seafood to the fullest. After all, this is what a seaside town should be like.
In the evening, we had a drink together.
We had hot oden purchased from our usual oden shop, and boiled kogomi that we had harvested in the mountains yesterday. In addition, we also had some miso-pickled gourd that we had been given on the table. It may be a slightly austere combination, but it goes well with sake. I found myself drinking more and more of these unpretentious snacks.
Ending the day like this makes me realize that the greatest luxury is the ordinary everyday life.
Nothing flashy, but the time I spend laughing with my son is the best treat of all.
I started this blog because I wanted to keep a record of these little days.
I hope to keep doing it, even as I get older.
Today was another great day, swept up in the waves, the sake, and the laughter. Hahaha!
